I find one of these in my mail box/inbox:
If you are interested how I came across the letter,well I was browsing here:
I like to wander! Just a little evening blog fling won’t hurt anyone…but that letter might. Right. Yeah. Um. I’m going now. Ciao!
Wow, what a letter… I would be curious to know if that writer ever got her ms published…Lorena

Lorena: I believe this was a response to Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily….as far as I know it was published. Otherwise how else would we know of it. Carla: Glad you found something positive in it. 🙂
